Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VI · §9

Chiefs of Edom / Canaan melted

Then the chiefs of Edom hurried, and the princes of Moab; all Canaan’s dwellers melted. Fear of God dissolves the nations’ arrogance.

Latin

Tunc festinaverunt duces Edom et principes Moabitarum; tabuerunt omnes habitatores Chanaan. Timor Dei dissolvit arrogantiam gentium.
